About Sikaru Learning Expeditions:

As schools all over the country turn their focus on integrated learning and acknowledge the potential of experiential learning, Sikaru hopes to immerse students in the natural world with learning modules that extend across disciplines and cover various aspects of the school curriculum.

Sikaru Learning Expeditions are a series of lessons designed with the intention of creating meaningful learning experiences with middle school students outside of their regular school halls. Revolving around deeper concepts of various branches of the natural sciences, and incorporating elements of STEAM education, we aspire that these lessons will help students in several major ways.

• With the help of technological tools, students learn more about the flora and fauna, the earth, the laws of nature, and the energies.

• In an authentic environment, the students develop genuine solutions to engineering problems and also reflect on the sustainability and environmental impact of their solutions.

• The students practice citizen science skills by making contributions to scientific study and research.
